Tiny Grotto

Tiny Grotto, also called TG, was recognized as the first dungeon of the game before the revamp and introduction of Pebble Cave, and was widely considered to be the easiest dungeon for new players to get experienced with how the game functions.

There are 10 floors in this dungeon, whereby there is a safe midpoint known as The Santuary. To proceed beyond the midpoint of Tiny Grotto, the player must have completed Cliffside Cave. The boss of the dungeon is a Roselia accompanied by two Budew.

The Pokémon in Tiny Grotto are mainly in the level range of 1-20.

Trivia

The entrance for Halloween HC originally led to Tiny Grotto, as a joke by staff.

Tiny Grotto was the one of the four original dungeons in PMU 7.

As the dungeon is so simple, players often joke about it being impossibly hard to conquer.
